Heat flow controls the design and operation of a wide range engineered geosystems. This study uses transient thermal probe measurements to determine evolution conductivity air-dry water-saturated sand–silt mixtures as function effective stress. Results confirm that soils varies with state stress, dry mass density, mineralogy, pore fluid properties highlight effect contact resistance on granular...

Background: Sand production is an important factor affecting reservoir exploitation. Excessive sand production affects the oil well life, causes the damage to the oil recovery device and brings serious hidden danger in the process of safety production. Objective: This paper presents a sand content computation model for the crude oil, which uses the power of sand production and Parseval theorem,...

Microbial sulfate reduction possesses a potential risk for the long-term safety of spent nuclear fuel repositories because under expected repository conditions sulfide is main corroding agent copper and copper-coated steel canisters foreseen in Scandinavian disposal concepts. It thus essential to understand quantify processes factors impacting microbial production within around compacted benton...

Saltation is an important geological process and the primary source of atmospheric mineral dust aerosols. Unfortunately, no studies to date have been able to precisely reproduce the saltation process because of the simplified theoretical models used. For example, sand particles in most of the existing wind sand movement models are considered to be spherical, the effects of the sand shape on the...

Moon Mineralogy Mapper/Chandrayaan-1. Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M) is one of eleven instruments selected to fly onboard India’s Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft in 2008. M, selected as a NASA Discovery Mission of Opportunity in May, 2004, is a high spatial and spectral resolution spectrometer that will help scientists better understand the compositional variation of the Moon’s surface. Ms overall science...
